Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1222 The Marks on the Body

Micah was seriously pissed this time and was dead set on cutting all ties with Sadie. He wanted to make sure she couldn't even sniff out the kids. Panic hit Sadie like a truck when she realized just how cold Micah could be. If she pushed him too

far, she might never see her kids again.

What the hell should she do? Sadie paced the room, feeling like a cat on a hot tin roof.

"Ms. James!" Annika burst in, looking all kinds of stressed. "They took the kids from the Clemens family."

"I know," Sadie replied, her frown deepening as she took in Annika's frazzled state.

Annika looked roughed up, probably from a scuffle with Rylan, but he must've gone easy on her. She only had some minor scrapes.

"Rylan tricked the kids into playing together," Annika started, her voice dripping with guilt. "When I wasn't looking, he gave them something to drink. The kids knocked out, and they just took them. I tried to stop them, but I couldn't take him. By the time Jesse showed up, they were already gone. They had a whole crew, and Jesse said we couldn't use force."

Annika looked down, "I messed up. Please punish me, Ms. James."

"It's not your fault," Sadie sighed. "It's on me for letting things get this bad."

"Did Mr. Clemens do this 'cause of your thing with Joe? Was he that mad?" Annika asked carefully. "How'd the talk go?"

"How do you think? Guns were drawn," Arya said quietly. "If Craig hadn't shown up to smooth things over, Mr. Clemens might've gone on a rampage today."

"With his temper, he would've lost it," Annika said, looking worried. She muttered, "It's all my fault. If I'd stayed with Ms. James last night, none of this would've happened."

"I also had a run-in with Rodolfo," Arya said angrily, thinking of him. "I wanted to protect Ms. James, but he kept getting in my way, so we fought."

"I only had a quick run-in with Andrew. Didn't even get to talk," Annika said, feeling down. "How did things get so messed up?"

Arya shot her a look, telling her to zip it.

Sadie was lost in her thoughts, feeling really low.

"Ms. James, don't stress too much," Annika tried to comfort her. "Even if Mr. Clemens has beef with you, the kids will still want to see you when they wake up. He can't stop them from reaching out." "Leave me alone for a bit," Sadie said, rubbing her forehead.

"Yes," Annika nodded, hesitating.

"Is there something else?" Sadie asked.

"Well, I just got this," Annika said, blushing as she handed Sadie a box of birth control pills. "Since it already happened, we gotta deal with it. But I figured you wouldn't want a surprise pregnancy." Sadie frowned as she took it, then angrily tossed it aside. "I just don't get it. How could I... I don't remember any of it!"

"But on your body..." Annika trailed off, not daring to continue.

Honestly, Annika and Arya didn't want to believe it either. But with all the marks on Sadie's body, it really looked like she had slept with Joe.

"No, something's off," Sadie muttered, getting more pissed. She told Arya, "Go get Joe. I need to talk to him."

"What?" Arya's eyes widened. "Get Joe to come here?"

"Just go," Sadie said firmly.

"Yes," Arya had no choice but to comply and left to replace Joe.

Joe was in his room, talking with his parents about asking Micah for the kids when there was a knock on the door. A servant reported, "Mr. Louis, Arya says Ms. James wants you to go to her room." "Really? Sadie wants me to go to her room?" Joe was stoked. "I'll be right there."
